Elliott & Vista have no control over the company or how and when news is announced. They don’t own anything yet (if ever). Don’t forget about the SEC and Citrix’s responsibility to its shareholders. If the SEC feels that shareholders are not being properly represented, then they can cause a lot of problems for all parties involved. Q3 results were announced on Nov 4, so regardless of the information that’s in the announcement — looks like we’re going to have to wait a while to understand exactly what’s going on.
That said… anyone actually think we made numbers?
